The opportunity to work with the world-leading institute; Inria, was something we started to evolve a number of years back and I am delighted that today this is now a practical reality. The capacity to work on global-scale problems with leaders in the field and to have dedicated facilities in the AI Centre at 90 High Holborn to provide the space for interactions and group working is very exciting. The fact that we have persisted with the vision and brought it to fruition at this time under the pressure of a pandemic and the changing landscape of BREXIT is testament to the shared conviction and drive to collaborate as true partners. I am just delighted.” Professor Titchener-Hooker, Dean, UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences

It is a great honour to finally launch The Inria London Programme in such excellent company. When I joined UCL two years ago on a sabbatical from Inria I could not have guessed what a journey it would be, and I am extremely proud of having contributed to such a new collaborative venture and humbled to serve as its scientific director. This would not have been possible without the unfailing and enthusiast support from both parties, at all levels. The Inria London Programme is the embodiment of an ambitious collaboration strategy: we are now calling to UCL and Inria members to make this project a success!  We are aiming at materialising this with the very first joint research team between Inria and UCL [This would be Inria’s first joint project-team with an institution in the UK] and we are working hard to submit this to both Inria and UCL management in 2021.” Dr Benjamin Guedj, UCL Computer Science and Inria
